Will Jani Master receives the National Film Award from the President in the 70th National Film Awards 2024?
Interim bail has been granted to Jani Master, choreographer of the film 'Stree 2', by a Hyderabad court, who was arrested under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses) Act. In his bail plea, the National Film Awards ceremony to be held in Delhi on Tuesday has been cited by Jani Master. The Best Choreographer Award for the Tamil film 'Thiruchitrambalam' has been received by Jani Master at the 70th National Film Awards to be given for the year 2022. This award is also included for his partner Satish Krishnan.

A well-known name in dance direction in Indian cinema has been Jani Master. However, controversies about his behavior have been present before. The song 'Tu Aai Nahi' from the film 'Stree 2', for which Jani Master is also the choreographer, has become the biggest hit Hindi film of this year. Last month, a rape case against Jani Master was filed by one of his assistants. Sexual exploitation of his assistant since she was a minor is what Jani is accused of.
After a named report was filed against Jani Master, he was arrested by Andhra Pradesh on 20th September but interim bail has been granted to him by Rangareddy court of Hyderabad. In his bail plea, it has been said by Jani Master that he has to go to Delhi to attend the National Film Awards ceremony on 8th October, so bail should be granted to him.
Interim bail has been granted to him from 6th October to 10th October to go to Delhi. It has also been ordered that surrender in the court will have to be done by him as soon as the bail period ends. It is likely that Jani Master will come out of jail on Sunday. Looking at the serious allegations against Jani Master who was arrested in Goa, it seemed difficult for him to come out of jail so soon but his argument of National Film Awards has been accepted by the court.
After the arrest of Jani Master, choreographer of the song 'Kati Raat Maine Kheton Me Tu Aayi Nahi' from the film 'Stree 2', a stir has occurred in both Tamil and Telugu film industry. After the report of Hema Committee formed to investigate sexual harassment in Malayalam cinema, a demand has arisen to form such committees in other languages of South Cinema.
